today we're learning english with ted
1
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,799
talks
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,120
one characteristic emerged as a
3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,360
significant predictor of success
4
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,960
and it wasn't social intelligence it
5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,320
wasn't good looks
6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,560
physical health
7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:21,359
and it wasn't iq it was grit
8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,600
grit is passion and perseverance for
9
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:25,840
very long term goals
10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,480
grit is having stamina
11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,840
grit is sticking with your future
12
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,520
day in day out not just for the week
13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,120
not just for the month
14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,680
but for years
15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,600
and working really hard to make that
16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,640
future a reality
17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,400
grit is living life like it's a marathon
18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,600
not a sprint

00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:50,079

[Music]
45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,759
one of the first and most important
46
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,920
steps to being a successful english
47
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,479
speaker is understanding why you're
48
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,640
learning english in the first place in
49
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:06,960
this popular ted talk author and
50
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,000
inspirational speaker simon sinek
51
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,000
explains the power of knowing your why
52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,400
by why i mean what's your purpose what's
53
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,400
your cause what's your belief
54
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,400
why does your organization exist
55
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,800
why do you get out of bed in the morning
56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,319
and why should anyone care
57
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,920
well as a result the way we think the
58
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,760
way we act the way we communicate is
59
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,599
from the outside in it's obvious we go
60
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
from the clearest thing to the fuzziest
61
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:32,640
thing
62
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,920
let me give you an example i use apple
63
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,519
because they're easy to understand and
64
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,560
everybody gets it
65
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:40,080
if apple were like everyone else
66
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760
a marketing message from them might
67
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,319
sound like this
68
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,160
we make great computers
69
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,239
they're beautifully designed simple to
70
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,280
use and user friendly
71
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:53,920
want to buy one
72
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,720
but it's uninspiring here's how apple
73
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,640
actually communicates
74
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,000
everything we do
75
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,120
we believe
76
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,120
in challenging the status quo we believe
77
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,120
in thinking differently
78
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480
the way we challenge the status quo is
79
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,920
by making our products beautifully
80
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,080
designed simple to use and user friendly
81
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,319
we just happen to make great computers
82
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,840
want to buy one
83
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:20,800
totally different right you're ready to
84
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,800
buy a computer from me
85
00:03:22,890 --> 00:03:26,100
[Music]
86
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:32,720
why does your organization exist
87
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:35,120
why do you get out of bed in the morning
88
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,840
although simon sinek uses apple as an
89
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,560
example this applies to individuals as
90
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,280
well when we understand why we do
91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,560
anything our purpose becomes clear and
92
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,400
we can more easily work towards it here
93
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,480
when we talk about what gets you out of
94
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,799
bed in the morning it means what is your
95
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,360
purpose and motivation in life
96
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:57,920
what motivates you to go to work each
97
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,319
day an expression that sounds similar
98
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,879
but has a totally different meaning is
99
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:05,040
to wake up on the right or wrong side of
100
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:07,840
the bed which is used for saying that
101
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,879
someone is in a good or bad mood for
102
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,799
example he seems very grumpy today it
103
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:14,799
seems he woke up on the wrong side of
104
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:16,799
the bed so what's something you do every
105
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:19,280
morning without fail
106
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,800
oh unfortunately i checked my phone same
107
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,440
here yeah what gets you out of bed
108
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,600
my dog noon cute we go from the clearest
109
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,840
thing to the fuzziest thing in this
110
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,160
context when we refer to an idea or
111
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,479
concept as fuzzy we mean that it is
112
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,040
still unclear or undeveloped as you
113
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:39,199
haven't yet given it enough thought for
114
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,280
example he wants to start his own
115
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,479
business but his business plan is still
116
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,800
a bit fuzzy
117
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:48,600
which of these pictures also represents
118
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,600
the meaning of fuzzy
119
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,000
the slippers and rabbit are fuzzy
120
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,880
because they are covered with short soft
121
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,960
fur and in english we call this fuzzy
122
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,360
the display screen is fuzzy because the
123
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,880
image is not clear making it difficult
124
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,680
to see
125
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,600
ew oh ew
126
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,280
gross
127
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,479

143
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,240
that you might hear related to software
144
00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,080
and technology you can use the word
145
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,120
user-friendly to describe something that
146
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,319
is simple or easy for people to use or
147
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,400
learn
148
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,400
my new computer came with windows 7.
149
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,280
windows 7 is much more user-friendly
150
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,280
than windows vista
151
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,280
i don't like that
152
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,560
everything we do
153
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,400
we believe
154
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,280
in challenging the status quo
155
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,440
the word status quo is a latin phrase
156
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:28,639
that is still used today mostly in
157
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,720
formal or academic situations however
158
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:32,800
it's perfectly normal to use it in
159
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,039
everyday conversations
160
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,840
we use it to mean the present situation
161
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:39,280
or the way things usually are lewis said
162
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,800
i'm not allowed to prioritize your work
163
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,000
anymore you think i'm taking orders from
164
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,000
lewis now
165
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,280
consider things status quo yeah well
166
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,720
they aren't
167
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,639
they are as far as you and i are
168
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,759
concerned we just happen to make great
169
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:53,280
computers
170
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,520
we use the phrase happen to plus verb to
171
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,800
say that something happened by chance or
172
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,800
without preparation for example he
173
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,280
happens to be best friends with his
174
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,360
boss's daughter hi
175
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,199
hi isaac isaac hi
176
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,680
you know we haven't actually met your
177
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,680
dog
178
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:15,199
yes i suppose i am a dog
179
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,520
but isaac see i i happen to have a
180
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,360
girlfriend oh fry that rachel chick from
181
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,360
the coffee place yeah that's the one we
182
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,800
just happen to make great computers
183
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,280
want to buy one
184
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,560
notice how simon uses connected speech
185
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,120
here instead of asking want to buy one
186
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,919
the words one and two flow into each
187
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,479
other so the t sound at the end of want
188
00:07:33,919 --> 00:07:39,599
and at the beginning of two are silent
189
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:44,000
so all we hear is wanna together this
190
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:46,639
sounds like wanna buy one
191
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,639
to buy one
192

[Music]
193
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,639
the next step is to accept the fact that
194
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,720
mistakes and vulnerability are part of
195
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:02,879
learning a new language
196
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,199
in this powerful ted talk renee brown
197
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:08,080
talks about the power of vulnerability
198
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:10,720
almost simply put the power of embracing
199
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,479
possible mistakes and failure the one
200
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,759
thing that keeps us out of connection is
201
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:15,440
our fear that we're not worthy of
202
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,400
connection
203
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,080
i
204
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,759
took all of the interviews where i saw
205
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,680
worthiness where i saw people living
206
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:25,680
that way and just looked at those
207
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
what they had in common was a sense of
208
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,520
courage
209
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:33,039
and so these folks had very simply the
210
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,039
courage to be imperfect
211
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:37,760
they had the compassion
212
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:40,080
to be kind to themselves first and then
213
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,760
to others the other thing that they had
214
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,040
in common
215
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,440
they fully embraced vulnerability
216
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,720
they talked about the willingness
217
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,839
to say i love you first
218
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,120
the willingness
219
00:08:52,839 --> 00:08:57,839
to do something where there are no
220
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,839
guarantees
221
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:05,920
the one thing that keeps us out of
222
00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:08,640
connection is our fear that we're not
223
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,959
worthy of connection the word worthy has
224
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,959
several meanings in this context it
225
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:15,279
means that someone deserves respect
226
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:17,600
admiration or support
227
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,800
you must be so proud to have him as your
228
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,880
brother
229
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,760
well truth be told he does bring me a
230
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,920
lot of joy
231
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,839
thank you for telling me this charlie
232
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,440
you're welcome
233
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:32,240
just promise me you won't embarrass him
234
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:36,760
by bringing it up oh not a word
235
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,760
i just hope i can be worthy of him
236
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,959
as a suffix at the end of a word it can
237
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:46,320
also mean suitable or deserving for
238
00:09:42,959 --> 00:09:48,959
example road plus the suffix worthy
239
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,080
makes road worthy which means that
240
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:55,440
something usually a vehicle is suitable
241
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,640
to be used on the road trust plus the
242
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,120
suffix worthy makes trustworthy which
243
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,320
means that someone can be trusted for
244
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,240
example
245
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,399
he is a very trustworthy employee
246
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,600
what they had in common was a sense of
247
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:12,160
courage
248
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,480
and so these folks had very simply the
249
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,320
courage to be imperfect
250
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,399
we say that people have something in
251
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,720
common when they share similar interests
252
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:23,120
or characteristics
253
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,040
he obviously went crazy
254
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,519
obviously lost his mind
255
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,760
well i didn't lose my mind
256
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:32,640
okay janice and i have a lot in common

259
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,959
used in different ways
260
00:10:38,079 --> 00:10:43,760
we use it to refer to people in general
261
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:46,720
for example folks need to realize that
262
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,600
global warming is a reality we use it to
263
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,720
refer to people of a particular group
264
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,680
that area is very popular amongst rich

00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,640

00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:15,120
they had the compassion
274
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:17,760
to be kind to themselves first and then
275
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,839
to others compassion is a positive word
276
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,079
that refers to a strong feeling of
277
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:24,880
sympathy and sadness for the suffering
278
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:27,120
or bad luck of others and wish to help
279
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,640
them the other thing that they had in
280
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,040
common
281
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,680
they fully embraced vulnerability
282
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,920
in this situation embrace is a synonym
283
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,880
for accepting something
284
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240
well i think it's great that you're
285
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,000
going on a date you know i mean it
286
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,720
sounds healthy i mean you have needs
287
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,920
embrace your womanhood
288
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,240
however to embrace can also mean to hold
289
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,920
someone tightly with both arms to
290
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,959
express love
291
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:56,079
liking or sympathy or when greeting or
292
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:57,920
leaving someone for example the boy
293
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:00,160
embraced his mother to show his
294
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,600
gratitude they talked about the
295
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,519
willingness
296
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,600
to say i love you first
297
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:08,320
the noun willingness means that the
298
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,639
person is ready and voluntarily wants to
299
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,720
do something you could also change the
300
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:14,560
sentence structure slightly by using the
301
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,040
adjective willing
302
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:20,000
so instead of they talked about the
303
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,079
willingness to say i love you first you
304
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,800
could say they talked about being
305
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:26,639
willing to say i love you first as they
306
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,720
have the same meaning
307
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,120
thank you all for assembling at such
308
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,360
short notice
309
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,290
and i want to thank you
310
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:40,640
for your willingness to serve

[Music]
312
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,800
one of the main reasons many learners
313
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,600
study english is that it is a global
314
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,160
language in order to truly become a
315
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,079
global citizen we need to be open to
316
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,279
understanding the world from different
317
00:12:56,079 --> 00:13:02,000
perspectives in this ted talk chimamanda
318
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:04,399
ngozi adichie explains why this is
319
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,160
important
320
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,720
years later i thought about this when i
321
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,839
left nigeria to go to university in the
322
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:15,440
united states i was 19.
323
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:17,600
my american roommate was shocked by me
324
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,160
she asked where i had learned to speak
325
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,920
english so well and was confused when i
326
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,120
said that nigeria happened to have
327
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,560
english as its official language
328
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,440
she asked if she could listen to what
329
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:31,200
she called my tribal music
330
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:35,760
i was consequently very disappointed
331
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:39,040
when i produced my tape of mariah carey
332
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,920
my roommate had a single story of africa
333
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,360
a single story of catastrophe
334
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,160
in this single story there was no
335
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,480
possibility of africans being similar to
336
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,880
her in any way no possibility of
337
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,959
feelings more complex than pity no
338
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,320
possibility of a connection as human
339
00:13:52,959 --> 00:13:57,040
equals
340
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,480
so that is how to create a single story
341
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,920
show a people
342
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:06,160
as one thing as only one thing over and
343
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,160
over again and that is what they become

[Music]
345
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:16,880
she asked if she could listen to what
346
00:14:14,079 --> 00:14:19,199
she called my tribal music
347
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,120
here tribal music refers to the music
348
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:23,839
created by indigenous people of a
349
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,240
particular area who belong to a specific
350
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:28,320
tribe it is music that is special and
351
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,160
symbolic of the culture
352
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,399
i was consequently very disappointed
353
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:35,199
when i produced my tape of mariah carey
354
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:37,920
the word consequently is often used in
355
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:41,120
writing and means the same as therefore
356
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,639
or as a result of something last year
357
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,440
you bet me that you could steal my medal
358
00:14:42,639 --> 00:14:47,199
of valor and you did consequently i was
359
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,519
forced to do your paperwork for a week
360
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:51,680
and to say words i thought i'd never
361
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:53,440
have to say i was consequently very
362
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,399
disappointed when i produced my tape of
363
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,160
mariah carey when she refers to her tape
364
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:00,639
she means a cassette tape which is a
365
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,480
flat rectangular object used for playing
366
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:05,680
and recording audio
367
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,440
cassette tapes were popular in the 1980s
368
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,600
and 90s
369
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,399
for dinner music i thought we could
370
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,079
listen to that tape that you made me oh
371
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:16,399
the mixtape
372
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:18,480
this is quite humorous because she's
373
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:20,959
saying that the music that is symbolic
374
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:24,800
of her culture or tribe is from
375
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:28,079

my roommate had a single story of africa
377
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:32,959
the word single means one so when she
378
00:15:30,959 --> 00:15:35,279
talks about a single story she means
379
00:15:32,959 --> 00:15:37,839
that her roommate only understood one
380
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:40,800
part of the story or she only had
381
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:43,040
limited information about africa and
382
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,079
this became how she viewed the entire
383
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,480
continent we use the word catastrophe to
384
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:50,560
refer to a bad situation or an event
385
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,000
that causes very great trouble or
386
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,440
destruction
387
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,639
show a people
388
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,279
as one thing when we talk about a people
389
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,480
it might sound incorrect but in fact it
390
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:07,560
refers to a nation a tribe a community
391
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,560
that is regarded as a single unit
392
00:16:12,079 --> 00:16:18,000
so that brings this lesson to an end but
393
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,160
before you go let's do a quick quiz to
394
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,880
see how much you've learned but it's
395
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,279
uninspiring here's how apple actually
396
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,199
communicates
397
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,560
everything we do
398
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:31,680
we believe
399
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,680
in challenging the status quo we believe
400
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,680
in thinking differently
401
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,040
the way we challenge the status quo is
402
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,480
by making our products beautifully
403
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,639
designed simple to use and user friendly
404
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,880
we just happen to make great computers
405
00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:46,480
want to buy one
406
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,480
totally different right you're ready to
407
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,680
buy a computer from me
408
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,120
what is the opposite of status quo
409
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,240
unusual
410
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,240
regular
411
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,240
atypical
412
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,640
[Music]
413
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,799
they had the compassion
414
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,120
to be kind to themselves first and then
415
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:12,799
to others the other thing that they had
416
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:16,079
in common
417
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:18,559
they fully embraced vulnerability
418
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:21,839
they talked about the willingness
419
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:24,799
to say i love you first
420
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,799
the willingness to
421
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:27,679
do something where there are no
422
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,000
guarantees
423
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:31,520
which of these pictures shows the verb
424
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,940
embrace
425
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,940
[Music]
426
00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:46,720
[Music]
427
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,200
years later i thought about this when i
428
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,320
left nigeria to go to university in the
429
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:56,000
united states i was 19.
430
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:58,160
my american roommate was shocked by me
431
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,720
she asked where i had learned to speak
432
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,480
english so well and was confused when i
433
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,679
said that nigeria happened to have
434
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:07,039
english as its official language
435
00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:10,000
she asked if she could listen to what
436
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:11,760
she called my tribal music
437
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,840
i was consequently very disappointed
438
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,840
when i produced my tape of mariah carey
439
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,799
which of these means the same as
440
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,679
consequently
441
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:22,880
vulnerability
442
00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:25,880
why
443
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,880
therefore
444
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,280
